i just made some booksmarks for a swap themed “old egypt”… now i can take them for this week´s challenge…

ich hab gerade erst lesezeichen gemacht für einen swap “altes ägypten”… kann ich sie gleich für die herausforderung dieser woche nehmen…

the colors of the bookmarks are more vibrant in reality, as i scanned them before laminating (which often makes reflections in the scan).

all bookmarks are made of watercolor paper. colors are thinned vivid refill-inks, applied with brush. waterresistant ink for stamping is aquacolor from heindesign. vellums are mostly from heindesign (i think they have them from judi-kins).

1: stamped face (collezione buffo) in black – masked that – and hieroglyphics background (collezione buffo) in brown. background painted with thinned inks in brown and yellow. edging of the bookmark in red (vivid). stamped hieroglyphics from stempelmine with brilliance black ink onto tea-colored vellum, glued on. red scrap at top and bottom from artchix.

2 . paper colored with yellow ink. stamped sphinx (stempelmine), painted with turquoise (turned out greenish;) for contrast i stamped the papyrus plant (stempelmine) in red, edged bookmark with that color also. three egyptian eyes are from stempelmine, too, the cartouche on the red vellum is from gumbo graphics.

3. stamped small egyptian face (collezione buffo) three times. painted with straw all over, masked. background stamp “papyrus” from judi-kins in rust (adirondack), same color for edging. small hieroglyphics stamp (stempelmine) in turquoise (vivid). glued on some fiberstripes.

4. colored watercolor paper with turquoise. took that stamppad for the definitions “goddess” and “eternity” (lost coast designs) and for edging. “isis” and “osiris” stamped with alpha from ma vinci in garnet ink (vivid). image on vellum is from rubber poet.

5. nefertiti (redhead) stamped onto watercolor paper. then background painted with lettuce (adirondack). after masking i stamped on egypt map (toybox) in black (hard to see…) and over that papyrus plant (flamingo artstamps) in gamma green (brilliance), which i also took for edging. name stamped on red vellum (alpha from teesha moore), red scrap from artchix, nefertiti colored in with various vivids.

in natura sind die lesezeichen leuchtender in ihren farben. ich hab sie vor dem laminieren gescannt, weil es beim scannen oft reflektiert.

5. nofretete (redhead) aufgestempelt, hintergrund mit lettuce (adirondack) gefärbt. maskiert, dann ägypt. landkarte (toybox; hier nur mehr schlecht zu sehen) in schwarz und darüber papyruspflanze (flamingo artstamps) in gamma green (brilliance) aufgestempelt, ränder ebenfalls mit diesem grün bearbeitet. den namen auf rotes vellum (alpha von teesha moore) gestempelt, rote zacken von artchix, nofretete ausgemalt mit verschiedenen verdünnten vividfarben.
